The Astropulse data that Eric described in his talk are very interesting. Several hundred short burst signals have been detected, all within the galactic plane, and several of which were seen on more than one occasion (although not repeated in a one-off dedicated search). At the very least, these could be new astronomical objects, and at best they might be SETI communications. Could a grant be written to get funding to study these objects in greater detail? - with some of the funds being used for hardware, or a programmer, that could benefit SETI?

This was the first time I'd seen these data presented and it would be great to hear a little more about this from Eric sometime - perhaps a short summary post in one of these threads?

Hi Eric,
Unfortunately I was unable to participate/watch the Conference. I just clicked on the first Link to see if there was any Links to watch it Online. I then clicked on a Link that was provided on that Page to watch Seminars from recent days, which is ... https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/seminars/featured-seminar-channels/conferences-and-workshops/2014/3/16/search-for-life-beyond-the-solar-system-conference/

I'm assuming that the Site is obviously safe, being a Government related Site, but I thought I'd inform you so you can maybe inform the appropriate people to have this corrected.

I received a notification of the event today via BOINC manager (today being 23rd March!!!!!!!)
Looking at the link now..

Thanks for posting the link. Given the short time I had, I think I did OK. There was just too much to cover.

If you haven't watched Jeff Kuhn's talk about Colossus and looking for waste heat on planets, it's interesting. For some reason it was in Session 4 rather than Session 5 (the SETI session). Jill Tarter's and Shauna Sallmen's and Ian Morrison's talks are interesting as well.

Regarding answering questions you've posted, I intend to get back into blogging about SETI, but it will have to wait until after the ICONEUVPDR. I'll be pretty swamped before then.
